Letter: Thanks for supporting orange blossoms

On June 7 and 8, members of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 101, distributed orange blossoms, which is our annual fundraiser to raise monies for various community projects.

The orange blossom has become a symbol that honors those who served and died for their country in Vietnam. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to assist hospitalized veterans in Tomah and King, as well as supporting local organizations here in Wisconsin Rapids.

Thank you to all who contributed to this fundraiser. We are very fortunate to live in such a giving community. And a special thank you goes out to the two little boys who gave all their change to us, plastic bag and all. Their parents can be very proud of them.

Our gratitude to Baker Drive IGA, West Grand IGA, Walmart, Shopko and Copps for allowing us to distribute these orange blossoms in front of their stores. We thank you for your support. We served then and we serve now.

Thomas L. Sachs

President, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter No. 101
